Crazy For You
Chapter Three
My insomnia always acts up at the worst times.
I'm afraid to check the clock, but I do anyways. 2:14am. Seriously?! I've been trying to sleep for hours. I'm so jealous of people who can fall asleep easily. For me, it takes so much effort and time.
I sit on the edge of my bed and glance out the window. It's pitch black outside, which makes the stars look even brighter. I stare up at them, studying the constellations. I think my father taught them to me, but I can't remember any of them now. Except for the big dipper. I find it in a heartbeat. And there's Orion's belt. Who made up the constellations in the first place? Sometimes I wonder-
I glance at the forest outside my window. I thought I heard...No, I must have been imagining things. I squint my eyes, trying to see something I'm not completely sure is there.
I find nothing.
It was definitely just my imagination. Probably from lack of sleep or something. I didn't sleep on the plane either. When was the last time I slept?
With that in mind, I crawl back into bed and wait for my body to get it's shit together and finally fall asleep.
